The strength of the Red Heart Battle Group has led to a massive increase in investment from various institutions in Cloud City. In exchange, you have surrendered nineteen percent of the battle group’s control. You, however, do not care about this so-called control in the slightest. Even with the contracts signed under the supervision of the Intelligent Network, with copies kept by each party and even original documents set for transfer to the Federal Bank for notarization and safekeeping, what does it matter?

A battle group is, at its core, a violent military organization. The conglomerates and corporations of Cloud City have projected their commercial mindset onto the battle group, hoping that you will consider their voting weight in the future and gradually hollow you out with their continuous capital injections. Is that even possible? Everyone in the Red Heart Battle Group, from the top down, is loyal only to you. With a single word, you could have all these professionals quit the Red Heart Battle Group and form a new one entirely. So, what meaning does this so-called control have for you?

If these organizations that hold these rights develop peacefully, you will distribute the profits earned by the Red Heart Society to them on time. But if they try to stir up trouble behind your back, you will make them understand the essential difference between a battle group and a financial consortium.

While you were busy handling the affairs of the Red Heart Battle Group and your second-rank advancement, the graduation month mandated by Cloud City University's regulations arrived. The graduation month for Cloud City University is July. Under normal circumstances, all seniors return to school this month to receive the principal’s commencement address before leaving the gentle environment of this ivory tower to develop in the cruel world outside. However, because of your emergence, most graduates have joined your ranks. In a sense, the career fair held by Cloud City University this year can be considered one of the most miserable in history. After all, the consortiums and battle groups that came to Cloud City University to recruit newcomers gained almost nothing. They turned their noses up at the resumes handed to them.

You arrived at the graduation ceremony and looked around. Upon meeting your gaze, the surrounding Red Heart Society members flushed with excitement. Watching all of this, you felt a wave of emotion. This simulation has been your smoothest one yet. You lack neither money, nor intelligence, nor protection. From September of Year 125 to now, you have spent four years at Cloud City University. In these four years, you successfully brought a battle group into existence under your own hand, while the Red Heart Society spread throughout the areas where the two universities are located, wielding immense influence across all of Cloud City.

Therefore, when you were invited to the stage to deliver a speech, you were moved to speak from the heart, launching into a speech themed entirely around the Red Heart Society. On such a solemn occasion, every speaker is expected to have prepared their draft well, even polishing every word multiple times. But you are different! You are the organizer and founder of the Red Heart Battle Group; the Red Heart Society shines brilliantly because of your existence. Thus, in some matters, you need not care about so much.

Accompanying your passionate speech, the atmosphere of the entire graduation ceremony was instantly ignited. Even though the educational leaders frowned upon it and the vice-principal of Cloud City University repeatedly shouted into the microphone for order, the surrounding boiling students showed no signs of restraint. At this very moment, everyone knew who the real person in charge was. As your speech reached its climax, the emotions of the surrounding students became increasingly fervent.

"The university is a sanctuary for idealists and a cradle for those who resist fate!"

"We do not know if the path beneath our feet is the correct one, but we are willing to risk our lives to blaze a trail of blood—a path that will serve as the most righteous guide for those who follow!"

"The current significant drop in prices for various goods at the school is not because the merchants and institutions around the school do not want to make money. The real reason is that the Red Heart Society, relying on the cost-efficiency of large-scale supply chains, has driven the prices down!"

"Perhaps in the vast river of history, the existence of the Red Heart Society will only stir up minor waves. One day in the future, the currently mighty Red Heart Society may be forgotten in the long river of history. But I want you to understand one thing: the reason the prices of supernatural resources in Cloud City have come down, and why various institutions provide benefits like insurance and housing funds to job seekers, is not because they suddenly found their conscience! It is because the Red Heart Society once walked this earth!"

As you finished your final word, you performed the Red Heart salute under the gaze of the entire world.

"VICTORY!"

At the moment the last note fell, the entire scene plunged into absolute silence. The next instant, the whole place erupted; everyone’s emotions reached their peak.

"Victory!"
"Victory!!"
"Victory!!!"

Waves of "Victory" chants rippled through the surroundings, and there were even instances of supernatural professionals fainting on the spot due to extreme excitement. However, these small interludes did not affect the surging spread of emotion at the graduation ceremony.

Even though the vice-principal used a megaphone, coupled with the pressure of a high-level professional, to try and stop this increasingly frenzied atmosphere with a stern tone—fearing that if the graduation ceremony turned into a school event where people died, it would be a massive disaster, especially with leaders from various departments watching—it was to no avail. If this were to be embarrassing, it would be a disgrace of the highest order.

Yet, the vice-principal's intervention had no effect. In fact, under his attempts to stop it, the atmosphere became even more intense. When the excitement reached a new height, you slowly raised your right hand and pressed it downward.

"Everyone, silence!"

Instantly, the boiling atmosphere subsided, and the howling crowd fell deathly silent. This scene made it clear to everyone that your influence over Cloud City University had completely surpassed that of the school leaders; even the principal’s authority had to concede to you at this moment. This was a complete challenge to the school's order and the principal’s dignity!

But the principal was your teacher, and the guardian of the Red Heart Battle Group’s development. In his eyes, you were currently a youth full of spirit, riding the crest of success. As the teacher who had accompanied you for four years, he felt nothing but gratification.

"Good! Truly good!"

In his decades of educational career, he had cultivated many powerful professionals. But the most prestigious and dazzling of those had only ever joined a battle group to become a deputy commander. And now, you had successfully formed a battle group before even graduating, with three thousand professionals under your command!

Your future would undoubtedly be more brilliant than all his previous students! He sincerely blessed you, hoping that you would travel further and further on the road of leading the Red Heart Battle Group, until finally leaving a profound mark in the history of the Federation. If that happened, he, as your teacher, would surely be remembered in history as well. If you could achieve that, he would have no regrets in this life!
